Storage

Filesystems

Tahoe-LAFS (Least Authority File System) - is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store. It distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues to work correctly and to preserve your privacy and security.(debian packages available but not very up to date). Possible public grid or private self-hosted grid. And an anonymous transport via I2P is also available via patches (http://duck.i2p.to).

MooseFS - is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as other Unix-alike file systems.

NubiSave strives to become an automated and optimal cloud storage system for network setups and desktop users. At its core, it runs a configurable tree of FUSE modules, with the root being the dispersing ?NubiSave splitter module. New storage providers can be added easily with local templates and from a registry. Initial Debian packaging metadata exists.

Network Attached Storage

OpenMediaVault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Looks like it has an excellent and comprehensive panel, similar to that used by the ReadyNAS.

Non-free (will not be used, but useful for comparisons)

ReadyNAS - proprietary parts sold on top of Debian running SPARC hardware. similar to freedombox but targetting home storage only, with a web interface, rather than lots of applications, although there were some (like BitTorrent.) Point is really to look at them as a model of how to sell Debian preinstalled in display-less computers.

* One of the main points to take from Wuala is the storage distribution (papers available). It lets you specify how much personal storage of yours you want to allow others to utilize and you get the same amount in return from the cloud of users.

SpaceMonkey distributed P2P storage service. (local hardware + paid service) Startup which does not appear to have launched as of April 2012.

Netsukuku: Mesh Routing Protocol for very large-scale self-maintaining network with distributed hostname service (not packaged, heavyweight the Python Stackless version, work in progress for a light Vala version)

File sharing

OneSwarm - F2F (friend2friend) P2P sharing : ?OneSwarm is a new peer-to-peer tool that provides users with explicit control over their privacy by letting them determine how data is shared. (no debian packages, java)

Robert - Anonymous, fully end-to-end encrypted BitTorrent client for the I2P network, with support for trackerless torrents and distributed trackerless torrent searches.

Mail and calendar

WebMail

Secure serverless Mail

I2P-Bote - a secure (transparent end-to-end encryption), distributed (serverless) e-mail system aka iMail, with a strong focus on privacy. (Depends on I2P; currently only network-internal, and e2ee not when sending to non-I2P-Bote addresses.)

Wave-OT-XMPP - XMPP-Concurrent-Confederation-Consortium participants list, all - decentralized, most - built with Federation, Privacy, and Security in base. Some - might support Camlistore, Tahoe-LAFS or supporting other variants of p2p distributive DB's.

News feed agregators

Tiny Tiny RSS - "Tiny Tiny RSS is an open source web-based news feed (RSS/Atom) aggregator, designed to allow you to read news from any location, while feeling as close to a real desktop application as possible."
